ABOUT ME

I never know how to answer these questions. If I say something overly kind, I come off as self-congratulatory, e.g., "She's entertaining and likes to give French pastries to complete strangers", but, if I try to be snarky, e.g., "This is one woman who just really needs to kick the caffeine habit", I end up coming off as ironic, rather than sincere. My friends seem to like me. I like them, too. I like making people laugh. And I like coffee. And I tend to overthink things, but mostly I like it that way.
